Jaden and Willow Smith are best known for a.) being the children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and b.) occasionally doing karate in movies and/or whipping their hair back and forth. Now we can add c.) giving deliciously bizarre interviews to their list of major accomplishments.

Jaden, 16, and Willow, 14, sat down with T magazine "on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean" to discuss, ostensibly, their new albums, but also a whole bunch of other weird stuff like prana energy (what?), how time doesn't really exist, and the trouble with driver's ed. Read on for the best bits:

On what they're currently reading:
Willow: "Quantum physics"
Jaden: "...ancient texts; things that can’t be pre-dated."

On baby science:
Jaden: "When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That’s because energy is coming through their body, up and down."
Willow: "Prana energy."
Jaden: "It’s prana energy because they still breathe through their stomach. They remember. Babies remember."

On the trouble with finding good stuff to read:
Willow: "There’re no novels that I like to read so I write my own novels, and then I read them again, and it’s the best thing."

On driver's ed:
Jaden: "You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out."

On dessert:
Willow: "Me and Jaden just figured out that our voices sound like chocolate together. As good as chocolate tastes, it sounds that good."
